“Tonya was very helpful in watching our dog. She was pleasant and kind, and I could tell our pup was well taken care of when we picked him up. Her home was clean and we felt very comfortable leaving Willy with her. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match! I have a fenced in yard and do not have any animals in the house. Your dog will have access to the inside and outside. They do need to be trained but I do also keep in mind that accidents happen.
“Schyler was amazing with our timid Maggie. She was flexible in dropping off and picking up times. She was patient with Maggie, who because of 3 months of neglect, is afraid of most of life. I was able to see how Maggie was doing by Schyler’s updates, and when I picked Maggie up, you could see how relaxed she was to be with Schyler.”
“They took great care of my pup, checked in with updates, and ensured she god along with their German Shepherd great! Definitely recommend Devan and will be boarding with him again!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was young. We have had many house cats inside and out and strays we have taken in or found a forever home for. We would have at least 4 at all times and I now have 4 babies as well.
“Kayla is so good at what she does. We were nervous about having someone watch our Harley. Not anymore. We are so fortunate to have found her. Her attention to detail is so appreciated.”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, from raising dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more at home to caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I also have 8 years of professional experience working in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant/technician. I have a special love for shy and nervous pets, and I always try to give them the patience, space and tenderness they need to feel safe and comfortable. My veterinary background has given me experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities and needs, and I’m comfortable paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility and overall wellbeing. I’d love to put that experience to work giving your pets the exercise, enrichment and loving attention they deserve. I currently work outside of Rover, so I’ll have specific days and times each week dedicated to pet care. I’m looking forward to building a reliable schedule with my Rover clients and getting to know their pets and routines! My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable and happy in their own environment. I have two dogs of my own and a fenced yard, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated about how your pet is doing. I’m currently offering walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, but may offer additional services in the future.
“Rachel was fantastic! She gave us such detailed reports on everything she did and how Otis was doing. And she gave him lots of attention and care so that we knew he was comfortable and happy with her while we were away. We would happily leave Otis in her care again!”
“Kelly was awesome! She put my mind at ease with her organisation and calming nature, and Boba our cat seemed to love Kelly’s visits. Our quail are also doing great after Kelly, and she made sure to send picture of both Boba and the quail everyday, which made going home for the holidays stress-free. I will definitely be re-booking with Kelly in the future!”
About: I've had cats my whole life and have had dogs the last 10 years. I've fostered both cats and dogs for 10 years as well. I work full time but am home every evening. I have an adult friend at home that walk our dogs and play with them everyday. I also walk and play with my dogs when I get home. I have a huge fenced in yard that they are able to play in. I am able to separate the dogs from the cats. I am able to crate your animal if needed as well.
“A very personable young lady with lots of knowledge and experience. Provided excellent care for my little “crooner”, giving me the peace of mind I needed for a week on the road. Will definitely use Miss Kaitlin again.”
About: I have taken care of cats for quite a while now. I have a cat of my own that I absolutely adore. I know cats can be difficult at times, but I am very patient. I have worked at multiple vet clinics. I know how to properly administer medications to cats as well. I know how to keep a litter box very clean and not sticky at all.
About: Throughout my senior year of high school I spent time volunteering at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked a lot with cats and dogs. Specifically when caring for the cats, I clean their litter boxes, cages, and filled their bowls. Following the cleaning routine I had plenty of time to interact with the cats in their own ways as every furry friend has their own personality. At home I have a furry friend that I care for and I also cat sit for family members when needed!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.
About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so my hours are a little random but have a lot of free time I'd love to spend with your pet! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in an animal daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands. I have also house sat for many cats before :)

I am retired full time, and I am really looking forward to walking dogs part time. I travel occasionally, so I appreciate requests in advance notice.

About: I have been lucky enough to have owned multiple breeds of dogs and cats. I have also owned snakes, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. Animals that typically don’t like new humans typically love me. I quit my 9 to 5 to homeschool my young children. After working for 30 years in medical and realizing life is about spending time with those you love. I now spend my days playing with my kids and animals and my extended animals. I find that routines are usually best for not only humans but animals as well. Together, we can build a routine for your fur babies.My personal routine for my pets are but not limited to my dog gets bathed on Sunday morning. Daily walks in the morning and evening before feeding.nails trimmed as needed and brushed nightly.Cats litter boxes scooped daily full box cleans every Sunday and Wednesday. Food and water checks morning and night.
About: My family has always included at least one fur baby. When I moved out at 19, I became the proud owner of Russia, a hyper, sweet, spoiled Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador mix. After meeting my husband, she gained a brother, Chaos, a lazy, snuggly, wiggly brindle Cane Corso/English Bulldog mix. Last October we rescued Runner, a shy but loving and playful Husky. Last February we welcomed our most recent rescue, Germany, a spicy, diva Miniature Pincher. As a person with four fur babies of her own, I know that it is not always possible to take your fur babies with you. I am also familiar with the feelings of worry and guilt that are experienced when separated from them. For this reason, I make every effort to transform the pet's seperation into a staycation! I try to facilitate extra special experiences of love and quality time that in the past have included (when approved by the owner): Snuggles while watching a show Extra walk walks Car car rides to take walk walks in parks for a change of scenery Extra play time (especially ball ball and tug of war to wear them out!) Car car rides to the pet store to pick out a toy or treat Greeting them with a new toy or treat once a day Car car ride to a puppy play date Car car ride just for fun! And anything else the owner may suggest the furry friend may enjoy! :) I further take the time to send photos paired with a typed update each visit to the owners to ease the difficulty of being apart. I take care to follow any and all specifications communicated by the owner and always ask questions to clarify anything that I am uncertain of. I am excited to become friends with your fur baby! I work full time 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am able to spend quality time with furry friends before work, and after work with a check in over my hour lunch break if need be! I greet all animals with affectionate pets and usually with a treat (if allowed). Fresh, clean water will always be available. Food will be distributed and prepared per owner specifications. Treats will be given generously (with owner approval) in addition to pets and playtime. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement with animals. Each visit will have at least one walk. It is preferable that harnesses are available to use. If a collar is used, it should be "normal" (no shock collar or choker collar please). I am more than happy to being a harness along! Please let me know in advance. Each visit I will take photos to send with typed updates on how the furry friend is doing. I will discuss with the owner what is allowed and reccomened with the fur baby to make the experience more like a staycation :)
About: My career goal is to work with animals, currently employed at a Humane Society. My friends and family have always trust me with their pets. They are my true happiness! :) I have a set work schedule, so there will not be rushed walks or playtime! If there is an issue with scheduling, I am always willing to request off from work. I will be able to give your pets much attention. I can read behaviors, I do not rush or make pets feel uncomfortable in their own environment. I want them to feel safe and give them the attention and love they deserve!
About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I am currently working full time at Aldi. My hours differ week to week; earliest I work is at 6am and the latest I get off is 9pm. But, I don’t work super long hours so it is still very easy to fit pet care in my schedule! I will be moving back to school in West Lafayette, IN in August 2026. My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.
About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I was formally apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. Due to school work and graduation plans, I am no longer a member, but all the skills I’ve acquired remain strong! This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.
About: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.
About: I have been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).
About: I have experience with behavior modification training, off leash training, large breeds, and will build relationship/rapport with families. I am trustworthy and reliable. Breeds I have owned; Husky, Lab, Kangal, German shepherd, and breeds I have worked with: rottweiler, akita, Shih tzu, German short hair, Great Dane, Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pincher, Labradoodle, Golden doodle, Corgi I offer "daystays", which are extended versions of Drop-Ins. I am available for "drive-bys", that is emergency, or on call drop offs. I provide paw prints, (photos) and always have "Rufferences" for clients that require personal assurances. My 5 star timeshare for Staycations (boarding)is opportunity to save cost and book in advance. I work and I'm a homeschool educator however I have no issues with adjusting my schedule to care for pets and am available to communicate with every day In home dogs sleep in our room unless crated, and eat table scraps when we aren't fast enough, we let the, free roam the house once potty routine is established and that time frame depends on dog. We don't allow dogs on furniture but cover the furniture for animals trained that way to reduce stress on trying to keep them down. In your home, routine is maintained and extra treats given, time outside is always encouraged for high energy and down time is enforced when bad behavior is being modified

About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match!

“Schyler was amazing with our timid Maggie. She was flexible in dropping off and picking up times. She was patient with Maggie, who because of 3 months of neglect, is afraid of most of life. I was able to see how Maggie was doing by Schyler’s updates, and when I picked Maggie up, you could see how relaxed she was to be with Schyler.”
“They took great care of my pup, checked in with updates, and ensured she god along with their German Shepherd great! Definitely recommend Devan and will be boarding with him again!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”
